Ingredients
⅔cupcornstarch
⅔cuppowdered sugar
2cupsmarshmallow fluff
red gel food colouringas needed
2tspcoconut oilmelted
peppermint extractoptional
Instructions
Add ⅓ cup of cornstarch and ⅓ cup of icing sugar to a medium bowl and stir them with a spoon.
Spoon about 1 cup of marshmallow fluff into the bowl and gently stir with a spoon until the ingredients have started to combine.
Repeat the previous steps in a second bowl. Then, add some red gel food colouring to one of the bowls.
Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and, if desired, a few drops of peppermint extract to each bowl. Feel free to add up to ⅛ teaspoon of peppermint extract to each bowl if you want the scent of the slime to be nice and strong.
Gently stir the ingredients together with a spoon. Once you've gotten as far as you can get with the spoon, use your hands to continue mixing the ingredients. You can add a bit of coconut oil to your fingers before you start to help the slime stick less.
Once the ingredients have been completely combined and the mixture has a slime-like consistency, adjust the texture as needed by adding a bit more cornstarch and coconut oil (if the slime is too sticky) or marshmallow fluff (of the slime is too stiff).
Roll each colour of slime into a thin log, then twist the two logs together to create a candy cane effect. Once that's done, give it to your child to play with!
Notes
Add coconut oil as needed if the slime dries out during play. When not in use, leftover slime can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
